Alfresco Dining
Dining outdoors calls for a soft, warm glow that creates a cozy, welcoming mood. String or bistro lights create the outdoor café style. Lanterns with candlelight provide a sense of intimacy. Press a button and transform all your outdoor lights to the color of golden firelight.
Layered Lighting
Just as layered lighting is essential to indoor living, it’s also key to your patio. Task, ambient, and accent lighting create spaces for dreaming and doing. Undercabinet lights by the grilling area and lights under railings to create subtle light from an unseen source.
Pendant lights over the dining area offer both task and ambient illumination. A unique chandelier can provide that wow factor. Wall sconces are ideal for ambient lighting, while step, nose, and pathway lights offer safe passage.
A Whimsical Retreat
Do you lean towards the unconventional and extraordinary? Hanging numerous paper lanterns and other funky fixtures could create the appearance of floating lights. Amidst the gardens, camouflaged bullet lights hide in plain sight amongst foliage.
